Business Administration: Full-service design/build and a 95% close rate.
Residential Design & Build; Oct2009, Vol. 74 Issue 8

As a full-service design/build company with offices in Austin and Houston, Jauregui Architecture Interiors Construction provides single-source design and construction for highend homes, as it has for more than 25 years. Led by award-winning architect Luis Jauregui, AIA, the company brings together the expertise of architects, interior designers, builders, managers, estimating and sales/ marketing professionals as a single entity. Its solid foundation derives from a strong sense of integrity and professionalism combined with a focus on exceptional client service.

Design creativity, team management, uncompromising execution and attention to detail are reflected in each of the company’s unique design/build advantages. These include:

Exceptional drawings. “We consider drawings and specifications to be our contractual agreement with the client and tradesmen. Every dimension, cabinet detail and tile layout is reflected. Construction flows smoothly and the client is happy,” says Luis Jauregui, AIA.

Cost during design. Periodic cost updates are provided during the design phase so clients can make informed decisions and sticker shock is eliminated. Construction start is immediate and 95 percent of projects convert to construction. The relaxed client is informed early about budget.

Selections during design. “Our designers lead the client in preselection of all finishes, which we cost and incorporate in highly detailed specifications. This eliminates change orders and unwelcomed cost overruns. The client has fun instead of stressing out during construction,” Jauregui says.

Furnishings, too. Jauregui’s designers propose a furnishings plan during design and work with the client to select and acquire furniture, window treatments and accessories. The team then installs furnishings and transitions from construction site to sophisticated interiors, and the client is overwhelmed with joy.

Exceptional execution. “We bring all of the expertise, combined with multiple layers of well-honed management, so the client doesn’t have to worry about anything,” he says. “The client receives lots of TLC as we continually push ourselves toward greater levels of excellence in every area of the company.”
